I don’t know this band. I never heard of Nu Shooz. But looking at the front cover I’m reminded of how much I really liked the 80s fashions. Hair, clothes, shoes; everything!
That’s a good enough reason to download this restored rip and give it a listen, right?
Thanks again, Paul 🙂

I remember you posting this back in 2011, although I never got a chance to hear it before. Looking forward to the 2021 Remastered version.

John Morales is one of my favourite remixers.

Thanks Paul 🙂

I had forgotten about this record. Loved their first two releases but just don’t have any recall about this one. Still, looking forward to hearing it with “2021” ears. Might be a new favorite. As always, thank you Paul.
